There was a smaller McCabes shop in Long Beach Ca that had a walnut RQ hanging on the wall, late ‘70’s ? Don Young told me to go try it. Priced over a grand, it was waaay more than I could come up ...

Gotta try these. Multi-high ‘5’s (🫲) to PF for due diligence with D’Addario. Stretching out to create crucial, really useful, and improved ‘point’ of attack

Haven’t checked your developments in ‘Builders’ for a while, Tim. You go on and “stumble” all you can; we in the Gallery will follow along. Don’t be concerned if a “stubbed toe” occurs ...

Great example of a ‘Builders Corner’ project, Carl. I see you’ve even constructed a volume pedal in the pics. You have a rare, capacious, 3D mind and hands-on ability to pull up an idea on paper ...

Strange and compelling Doug, much like the photos you’d post back when b0b had a Humor section. Marvelous 😋

Greg has credited steel + strums in mixes of the new “One Deep River” Mark Knopfler effort. His speciality: subdued, subliminal, sparse..in support of the songs.

How appropriate for the 4th! 💥 What I would call ‘Napalm-burst’ color hues, in perfect order. Wish Jim Sliff was still with us, 🥲..to admire this truly Twilight Zone era example. Top Notch.

Tres Jolie et Complexe!

Count me among these ‘Twang’ admirers, big D. There WILL be Peace in the Valley for you now. And many of us can’t be far behind 😎

Tom, you are a standout guy to take on this task. Attention Fo-Bro’s: not many 1968 Emmons D-10’s left to choose from nowadays, that are not bebop crusted or cat-scratched. Opportunity for one lik ...

My poor vision can still tell a badge on the stage guitar, decal on the one pictured. It’s a reason Emmons would replace any decal with a badge, free if so desired, for any owner who returned their ...

Try an Email to the guy in BC. He may still have that one Lee pointed out from a few mo.’s back. Was not posted as ‘SOLD’ 🙂

Peter G. you’re a good egg. Hope there’s no snags.

A ‘tour de force’ with “woody” styling cues from Nat.NY’s, Andy. An Artisan’s winning entry. 😎

A honkin’ deal going for a wise Forum shopper. There was a premium wood source used to make these back then. Pretty much vanished today. Can’t go wrong on sounds or price from Chris here.

Looks to be a first post, guys. I’d say a bit o ‘wiggle room’ to sort out details is allowed. Agree with J.R., it’s a very fine mo’sheen, specially with those pickups. GLWTS 😎

I think it’s completely fantastic, Mark. And if Jim P. welcomed this rare double into his shop, he wouldn’t miss any restorative accuracy. Most others you see have road rash, battle scars…or are ...

Fulawka D10 build’s don’t come around much here. And your offer is the whole enchilada to boot, Doug Berry! Sad to hear when the ‘herds get thinned’ tho. Don’t neglect to mention those 2 (co ...

Sorry you must let it go, Dan. A much prized Sho Bud model for tone today. Hope Xaction goes smoothly.

Beautiful cabinet, a time capsule. Underneath, I admire the way the round alum knee lever material tucks into a much wider base, with a hogged-out pivot point.. clever idea in the pre-CAD era.

“Paint flecks around tuners” To my knowledge, ( and the Rickenbacker ‘history’ book by Richard R. Smith) no paint was applied to Bakelite necks until post war ‘fret bumps’ were painted wi ...

Looks very nice, Roger. Is there a faintly stamped ser.# on top edge of headstock? Starts with ‘C’.. not nec to post it. Mark Helm is/was interested in early Ric B7. Not sure now. GL with sale.

Rare to see so complete a rig at a GW auction. Johnie King? Oh.. wait. GW won’t do trades. Laughing

..with y’all. Surreal. Chris: I hope it was a local purchase.. staying clear from shipping hazards.
